Lewiston, 111., March 1. The great
est oxcitemrn.t provails in this vicinity
over a terrible outrage perpetrated upon
a pauiier girl named Lizzie Powers.
Supervisor A. J. Horton was summoned
to Woodland to investigate tho girl's
condition. Ho found her alone in a
miserable hut suffering from convnl
sions. Slio is a mental and physical
wreck
Tho facts connected with tho affair
nro as follows: Last fall Zeko Grissom
and his brother of this township visited
their parents, who nro paupers in tho
Rushvillo jail. On leaving there they
enticed Lizzie, a simple, silly, helpless
girl and pauper, to go with them under
promiso of one of them that ho would
marry her. Tho trio walked to Sugar
Creek that night and stayed soveral days
with a brother-in-law of tho boys. Then
they rented an old shanty from old Mr.
Noles and moved in. Zeko Grissom gave
out tho impression to tho noighbora that
tho girl was his wife, but tho poor crea
turo says they wore nover married. She
says she has been a prisoner in tho hovel
for soveral months, and that Grissom
and his brother havo assaulted her at
their pleasure. Sho is nearly a maniac.
Tho men deserted her about a week
ago and she has been in tho cabin nlono
nntil today. Men aro on tho track of
tho villains, and if caught thoy will bo
lynched.

not of a very damaging character.
Mr. Tom H. Brown.
Mr. Tom Brown, the genial, af
fable deputy county clerk, an
nounces in this issue of The
News as a candidate for county
clerk. Mr. Brown is well known
all over the county, having served
as deputy clerk for several years
upon whom devolved the duty of
waiting upon the county and
commissioner's courts, and no one
can change him with dereliction of
duty in any respect. On the
contrary Tom Brown has been
singularly attentive to the de
partment over which he presides
and is an invaluable assistant to
any one hunting up records of
the courts whether they be 01
recent date or dingy with age.
Possessed of legal knowledge
sufficient to enable him to pass
upon the validity of any instru
ment filed for record Mr. Brown
can be of great service to his con
stituants and his disposition is
such that no effort of his to ren
der aid In such matters would be
spared. It is natural with him to
be clever and accommodating
and if elected he will naturally
fill the position with satisfaction.
